Following sell-out Fringe shows in 2014 and 2015, Angela Barnes (Mock The Week, Alan Davies: As Yet Untitled, Russell Howard's Good News, BBC Radio 4's The News Quiz, host of Newsjack on BBC Radio 4 Extra) is back with her brand new 2017 show, Fortitude. Stand-up and stories from a reluctant 40 year old with some stuff to say. 'Feels like a sure-fire bet the instant she utters her opening lines' (Scotsman). 'She's just a gloriously down-to-earth, straight talking and extremely funny comic' (Guardian). 'The pace is fast, the material strong and the delivery perfect' (Chortle.co.uk).

#EdFringe17: Angela Barnes has reached Fortitude

Enjoy 15 minutes of stand up and chat with the popular comedian, writer and swimmer. Angela didn't become a stand up until 33, only learnt to swim when she was 37, didn't fall in love until 38 and passed her driving test at 39. Why the hurry?

The Edinburgh interviews 2017: Angela Barnes

Angela Barnes seems to always be on television and radio these days, whether that be Mock the Week, Alan Davies: As Yet Untitled or The News Quiz. Barnes is at the top of her game. She is the voice at the back of your mind that says it how it is, but is also genuine, warm and darkly funny. Angela will be performing at the Pleasance Courtyard throughout August

Angela Barnes: Fortitude preview

With her personal insecurities dovetailing neatly with her wider social observations, this assured act is a deceptively skilled writer and always agreeable company.

Angela Barnes: Fortitude interview

You may be aware of her from her appearances on TV and radio, or from her live work in Edinburgh and elsewhere, but if you aren't, then it's high time you got to know Angela Barnes, who helpfully returns to the Fringe this year with her new show Fortitude.
